[05/22/01] *** FOX adds "24" to its Fall 2001 lineup -- Tuesdays at 9:00pm ET/PT *** Richard, cast as newly-divorced father Alan York, recently filmed the pilot for "24," a groundbreaking drama series for the FOX Network. Kiefer Sutherland heads the cast of the "real time" show, so called because its 24 hour-long episodes will cover a single day -- 24 hours. Kiefer Sutherland plays the part of CIA agent Jack Bower/Bauer who has 24 hours to stop an assassination, while Richard -- aided by Sutherland's on-screen wife Teri -- searches for their two missing daughters, Janet and Kim. (The girls, best friends, have disappeared). The series will build to its climactic finale in episode 24 -- "zero hour," so to speak. Richard will, presumably, continue to play the part of Alan York through the run of the series. (More information as we receive it...)

*** Catch
Richard on "Veronica's Closet" on the USA Network *** -- Wednesday, May
30th at 9:30 am ET/PT. Richard plays the part of Mark, Veronica's
(Kirstie Alley) new boyfriend. Veronica isn't happy to learn that Mark
dated coworker and friend Olive (Kathy Najimy) in college and is
even less amused when she discovers Mark's memento of his time with Olive
-- a tattooed portrait of Olive which covers half his chest.
At first put off by the unsettling tattoo but unwilling to dump Mark over something so superficial, Veronica again tries for a romantic evening, only to have her imagination supply the tattoo with Olive's moving mouth and taunting commentary. Refusing to accept defeat, Veronica has Mark keep his shirt on for the remainder of the evening. All is well until, basking in the afterglow, Veronica turns to find Olive beside her, in Mark's clothes and speaking with his voice. The tattoo wins and Mark is sent packing. (Thanks to Dianne for the "Veronica's Closet" screen image. "Veronica's Closet" is the property of Warner Brothers).
Now that "The District" has aired its season finale, look for the remaining unrepeated episodes to air. Of Richard's seven episodes, four have not yet repeated; they are:

Burgi Bonanza for German viewers *** -- "The Sentinel" returns
to Germany's Premiere World starting April 19th. Richard's
Jim Ellison brings "extra-sensory protection" back to German TV with
two episodes a day, Monday through Friday. The first showing will
be at 18:00 (5pm) with a repeat the following morning at 9am.
Richard will soon be appearing in "Providence" on RTL in the episode "The Apartment," (episode #2.14) playing Dr. J.D. Scanlon, Syd Hansen's (Melina Kanakaredes) new neighbor and love interest. When Syd decides she needs to strike out on her own by moving into her own place, one of the first people she meets at her seemingly idyllic new home is Dr. J.D. Scanlon, a handsome and charismatic professor of Anthropology. J.D. easily sweeps Syd off her feet and enchants her with tales of his many experiences doing field research in Africa. Along the way, J.D. strives to convince Syd she needs a mentor -- him -- and that she needs to break away from her family. Unfortunately, Syd's family has other ideas, derailing a romantic interlude planned by J.D. He gives Syd an ultimatum of sorts -- he won't date her as long as she is so tightly bound to her family. When Syd realizes J.D., for all his talk of independence from family, is just as tightly bound to his new family -- the building's other tenants -- she calls him on it and moves back home. (Thanks to Steffi, Becky, and Dianne for the scheduling info and screen-grabs)
[01/30/01] *** Write to Richard care of the RBFC! *** -- Richard has asked us to encourage anyone interested in sending cards or letters to him to use the RBFC mailing address, which is listed below. This allows Richard to better handle his incoming mail, which he certainly enjoys receiving, provided it comes through appropriate channels. Mr. Richard Burgi
We cannot emphasize strongly enough that mail should not be sent to Richard's home address! Receiving fan mail through his home address is a disquieting experience and cause for concern, especially from the standpoint of privacy and safety. If you have come across what you believe may be his home address, please, do NOT use it! We -- and Richard -- would greatly appreciate it if you would let us know where you came across the address by using this e-mail link to the RBFC. While postcards, letters, and cards will be promptly forwarded to Richard, we cannot forward packages; he has asked that no gifts be sent to him. Though Richard appreciates the goodwill and generosity those gifts represent, he finds them a little overwhelming. Richard would be honored if, instead, wellwishers made a donation in his name to a local children's shelter or literacy program.
[05/22/01] *** The Sentinel returns to the Sci-Fi Channel's schedule *** -- Jim Ellison returns to the SciFi airwaves Monday, April 2nd.
